Just the Decemberists. Is it a 20 minute song? Yeah,

0:08

it's a 20 minute song. It's a

0:10

classic Decemberist move. It's a 20 minute

0:12

song. Again, have it listen

0:15

to it. Is it about a sad

0:17

sailor? Does somebody die in a river?

0:19

Who's to say, but there's at least

0:21

75% chance that's what the song is

0:23

about. Someone die in a river. Colin

0:27

Malloy loves it when people die in

0:29

rivers. There is more

0:31

than a little of his music is about

0:34

that. I wonder what that's about.

0:36

Yeah, you got Rusalka, you got

0:38

Sucker's Prayer, you got Hazards of

0:40

Love. Technically,

0:42

the culling involves taking people down

0:44

to a river to kill them.

0:46

So there's a lot. There's

0:49

a lot of death. There's a lot of

0:51

death in rivers. Yeah, man. A lot of

0:53

drowning. All right, all I want is you,

0:55

burial ground. Yeah, Joan in the garden. Well,

0:57

I guess, no, this is the cold open.

1:01

We can't listen to a 20 minute song

1:03

for the cold open. But we can give them 18. Bayless

1:26

is in. Jonnet,

1:45

you are now faced

1:47

with a really important

1:49

decision because there are a lot

1:51

of ways that you can go about this. But

1:53

I think part of what it breaks down

1:55

to is you have

1:57

to decide whether. you

2:00

are going to try and

2:02

bring Bayless back to

2:04

the ship because

2:06

here's the thing. You've kind

2:09

of signed the Uhuru up

2:11

for, we're taking this

2:13

thing down. Now, do

2:16

you have the authority to do that unilaterally?

2:18

No, the only person who potentially has that

2:21

as the captain and even that would have

2:23

to be put to a vote. But

2:26

it is a sort of thing

2:28

where you might be able to

2:30

convince the Uhuru to

2:33

come along with you and

2:36

also it's the kind of

2:38

thing where like, Hey, there's

2:40

the problems on the table, you

2:42

know, like the butcher's loose and

2:45

out there. We don't

2:47

really stand for the kind of stuff that's

2:49

happening here anyway. Like there are a lot

2:51

of different factors or you could, what you

2:53

can do unilaterally right now, you know, the

2:56

location of all of

2:58

these new gardens.

3:01

In fact, you were just

3:03

at one of them. Uh,

3:05

when you found out about, I forgot

3:08

the name of this person

3:10

who died. Yeah. It's in

3:12

the past somewhere. Somebody remembers

3:14

it. Yeah. Somebody, uh,

3:17

is typing about it right now on

3:19

some comment somewhere. And I thank them.

3:21

Hey, that guy, that person, you know.

3:23

Whatever their name was, their friends called

3:25

them Chad. Sure. Yeah. And

3:28

because they had to undergo, uh,

3:30

the awful process in order to

3:33

become a Serenno, they kind of had to

3:35

cut themselves off, uh, from all of their

3:37

friends and the people that they knew. Uh,

3:40

so it's complicated. Nobody's

3:42

called them Chad in such a long

3:44

time. I

3:47

think that might've been to China. Did

3:49

she? Only, only

3:51

you could know. You

3:54

could potentially go to one

3:56

of these gardens and try

3:58

and shut it down. The.

4:00

challenges there are, there

4:03

are going to be workers there.

4:05

It is a technocratic work schedule.

4:07

So there are always workers there.

4:09

There is never a point where

4:11

it is unguarded. You would have

4:13

to go in and basically convince

4:15

people this needs to end and

4:17

it's a big leap to take.

4:19

So workers uprising. This

4:22

is tricky because I feel like the,

4:24

the, the biggest thing that someone

4:26

should do in this moment is

4:28

like check in with his teammates.

4:30

You do have the power of

4:32

texting. You can that's right. Fire

4:34

off a feather. Uh,

4:36

it can't be a robust explanation

4:38

and I will tell you right

4:41

now where we are in the

4:43

timeline, Oramar and Gable have

4:45

like kind of unintentionally set off some

4:47

big events. Uh, so you are well

4:49

excused to set off some big events,

4:51

but checking in with the ship is

4:53

probably going to be more effective than,

4:55

uh, sending a message off to the

4:57

captain, though you would be free to

4:59

do that. I mean, it's however

5:01

many feathers John, it can carry. I'm not going

5:03

to keep track of that shit. Yeah. John has

5:05

two feathers and I

5:07

think John is going to send

5:10

a feather to Gable that essentially

5:12

says, what's up found the halle

5:15

promised to do some shit. Are

5:18

you free? Meet

5:20

at the ship. Okay. And

5:23

then I guess he's going to send a

5:26

feather to spit basically

5:28

just saying we're

5:31

incoming. Um, what

5:33

just like are y'all

5:35

under any direct orders from

5:37

the captain right now? Uh,

5:40

yeah, he's going to, he's going to make a lift

5:42

request. Um, and,

5:44

uh, we'll, we'll hope for good, good pricing.

5:46

I don't know. It says it's going to

5:49

be here in five minutes,

5:51

but this bird is definitely flying in

5:53

the opposite direction that it should be

5:55

via. Search

5:57

pricing is happening right now. He,

6:00

well, wait, well, actually cheaper to get bird

6:02

XL. Oh,

6:04

yeah. A larger bird to come with more

6:06

people on it. Buddy, let's just do that.

6:09

Let's do that. Okay. We'll get,

6:11

we'll get, we'll get bird black. All right.

6:13

Come on. I just want to get there

6:15

fast. Yeah.

6:18

Then I think within the

6:21

order of a few minutes and you

6:23

know, they might not be entirely silent

6:26

minutes. I want

6:28

to know what's Bayless's mood

6:30

right now. Bayless is going

6:33

over the information and making sure he's got

6:35

this right. And he's like, so you're saying

6:37

you will, you'll cancel my debt, like completely.

6:39

Like that my debt will eventually be canceled.

6:41

I'm saying that when we're done, your debt

6:43

won't matter. That's even better. I

6:46

love that. Great. And so not only that,

6:48

like the, like the debts that my

6:50

family owes as well, is that sort

6:52

of like- How deep are those debts? I

6:54

mean, those debts go to like the red feathers. And

6:57

there's official ledger of that information.

6:59

Can we get rid of those

7:02

ledgers? I'm not sure. If

7:04

the town burns down- Do you know

7:06

where they keep those ledgers? Well,

7:08

yeah, the hall of records. Like- How

7:11

accessible is the hall of records? Have you ever been in

7:13

there before? No, I

7:16

did janitorial work for them one time.

7:18

You got that key ring? I

7:20

know somebody who does. Hey, put a pin in

7:22

that. Put a pin in that. Okay. Okay. So

7:25

here's the other thing. So

7:27

by doing this with all of

7:29

you, you

7:32

and the crew of the Yohuru, does that also

7:34

make me a member of

7:36

the crew of the Yohuru? I was

7:39

going to ask you if you had

7:41

a headshot and resume and what your

7:43

skillset would be. Oh my gosh, I

7:46

do. I absolutely do. And a shadow

7:48

passes overhead and the grass is flattened

7:50

by like a breeze as the tremendous

7:53

form of flea.

7:57

Dart shades out the sun and- descends

8:00

from the sky. This

8:03

gorgeous, enormous, gray-headed

8:06

albatross lands

8:08

in this clearing. They found us, they found

8:11

us! And Bayless jumps into the grass. That's

8:14

a totally understandable response. We're good.

8:17

Is this your bird? This is

8:21

a bird that I sometimes rent.

8:23

What's up, buddy? Yeah,

8:25

and Flea and Janet, I think,

8:27

are as close as two can

8:30

be. Then I think we can

8:32

jump cut to Janet and Bayless

8:36

sort of landing back. So what are my

8:38

chances of becoming a member of the crew

8:40

of the Yahu-Roo? Is that like, do I

8:42

have, it's just a formality? Like I gave

8:44

you my head of chateau resume and it's

8:46

good? Or is there like a line I

8:49

need to stand in? There is most

8:51

definitely a line. There is a

8:53

line that is almost never ending.

8:55

But here's the thing, we just

8:58

recently instituted a fast-pass system. Really?

9:00

And I think you

9:03

coming along with me to the

9:05

hale, that is fast-pass material. So

9:07

all I can do is say

9:10

you're gonna wanna reformat a lot of

9:12

this resume. It's just kind of unreadable.

9:15

And we're gonna start with your most important

9:17

work up top. Because here's the thing, captain's

9:19

not gonna get to the bottom. Captain will

9:22

not get to the bottom. That's true, he's

9:24

very busy. Very busy, very busy captain, yes,

9:26

yes, yes. So I will put in the

9:28

absolute best word for you that I can,

9:31

but it is a democratic system and you

9:33

need more thumbs up than thumbs down. It's

9:35

probably hard for him to see with just

9:37

the one eye, because he's constantly winking. Like

9:40

a... I mean, he has control.

9:43

Oh, he does? Yes. All the

9:45

stories I've ever heard, he

9:47

just squints a lot. Like there's a lot of

9:49

winking. Like when you did the wink?

9:52

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the stories I've

9:55

heard of like he squints and

9:57

then will like just go deeper with that wink.

9:59

Like that's what... I've always heard like

10:01

a pop eyes situation Yeah,

10:04

you know the great the great sailor pop

10:06

by the sailor Jack. Yeah, yeah from the

10:08

days before Absolutely. No,

10:11

that's it He has I'd

10:14

say well in these days full

10:16

autonomy of his body winks when he wants

10:18

doesn't when he doesn't okay And

10:21

so I'm learning so much Wow I'm

10:23

so happy that I could clear this

10:26

one very basic thing up and

10:28

and and stable stable the The

10:31

big one 12 feet 10 feet. Uh Gable

10:35

20 feet 20 20 20 feet So

10:41

the landscape Sweeps by you you

10:43

actually hang on real quick. I am lying about

10:45

that last one Oh, I we just did a

10:47

whole thing with me lying to you. I was

10:50

kidding, but that was that was fun All

10:52

right. Yeah, I'm okay with fun lies. All right, cool.

10:54

Yeah You're

10:58

gonna get a good word in for you. Yeah So

11:01

the landscape sweeps by you you you

11:03

move over like you can see some

11:05

of the Grossova gardens you

11:08

can see like one of the larger

11:10

ones that is the ancestral burial ground

11:12

of the holly people And

11:15

then like you can see

11:17

the town and encampments Surrounding

11:19

sorrows and you move past

11:21

that To the

11:23

area a couple miles out where

11:25

the who who is currently docked

11:28

in in the grasslands and their makeshift

11:31

kind of temporary dock situation and

11:33

I think that this is the

11:35

first time that Bayless sees the

11:37

who the who I believe

11:39

which has been undergoing a

11:43

small Formation

11:45

in the meantime as one of

11:48

the things that the captain's council

11:50

procured was new paint for the

11:52

ship There is the pale blue

11:54

paint that is common to this

11:57

area made out of ground

12:00

up clay. That is start

12:02

like they're starting to paint that

12:04

onto the ship. But you

12:07

can see the cut of

12:09

a ship that

12:11

has been told that

12:14

you've heard of in stories time

12:16

and time again at different bars.

12:18

Sometimes they are the villains. Sometimes

12:20

they are the heroes. They

12:23

are always a formidable

12:25

force staying one step

12:27

ahead of the entire

12:29

red feather armada. I

12:32

don't know if any news about

12:34

the Uhuru and its

12:36

possible disappearance has made its way

12:38

to Saro's end. This is a place

12:41

where news trickles in slowly.

12:44

You know people aren't using their meager

12:46

savings to pay the reference desk for information

12:49

about pirates here and it's

12:51

really whenever they bring in new people

12:53

to the town is when you hear

12:55

new rumors. So hard to

12:57

say if it is like

13:00

seeing ghosts moving about. Instead

13:03

you see a legendary

13:05

ship and you see the

13:07

strong pirates aboard it. People

13:10

pulling ropes. Mostly

13:12

people not doing a lot of work

13:14

right now. There are people playing Illimat

13:17

on the deck of the ship. People

13:20

maybe singing songs.

13:22

People eating food

13:25

and drinking. There

13:27

is maybe a little bit of a

13:30

tense atmosphere as you're

13:32

not intended to be here very long. But

13:36

you see the Uhuru

13:40

and land near the

13:42

ship. Oh

13:50

my god. Oh my god. It's

13:54

beautiful. It's like

13:56

we see whales go over to

13:58

the ship. And it's

14:01

like, I can't, I

14:03

mean, I've heard stories, so

14:05

many stories, like, it is

14:09

smaller than in

14:11

some of the stories, but it is, it's

14:13

about what I expected. It's about what

14:16

I expected. Mr. Kessler! Bit

14:18

calls from the top deck of the ship. I

14:21

hope that you found flea to your

14:23

liking. John, it is

14:25

in one getting out of a

14:27

hairy situation, getting back to the ship, getting

14:31

chauffeured by

14:34

his buddy, Griffin, and also

14:37

seeing someone else take in

14:39

the a-hooroo with fresh eyes.

14:42

Johnnett is

14:44

kind of fighting an urge to just

14:46

be, he's fighting the

14:49

urge to geek out

14:52

because he's just so proud

14:55

of everything. All the ship,

14:58

all of the people kind of laying

15:00

about, not being at

15:02

their best, but also

15:04

it's just like, yeah, this is pretty

15:06

cool. It's pretty

15:08

cool. And so he looks up to spit like,

15:11

the ride was bumpy, the

15:13

ride was beautiful. Yar!

15:20

Where at? See, we have a

15:22

guest? Avast, you do.

15:25

It be I, Bayless Gell.

15:28

From the north I see. Welcome

15:33

aboard. He's,

15:36

he is with me. He doesn't

15:38

talk like that normally. Oh shit, what are

15:40

you doing? Yes. Look,

15:44

if you're gonna be the pirate, you gotta do

15:47

the pirate thing. Yeah. Buddy.

15:50

Right? No. Buddy, if

15:52

you do that, that means, if

15:55

more than two people on that ship hear

15:57

you talking like that, that's how you speak.

16:00

All right, cause you gotta,

16:02

you be yourself. You

16:04

be yourself, man. Cause the rest would just

16:06

be, is just gonna be effort for the

16:08

rest of your days on the ship. Okay,

16:10

okay. All right. I will, I'll be myself.

16:12

He turns back to spit. We're gonna take

16:14

that again. This is

16:17

Bayless. Hi. Okay,

16:20

okay. That's a little bit

16:22

easier to handle. John,

16:25

you mentioned that there was some business

16:27

you needed to discuss. Yeah, there is

16:29

spit. We got a lot to talk

16:32

about. We do. Is

16:35

there, why am

16:37

I yelling? We're gonna, you come up

16:39

to me. You come up to

16:41

me. Okay, okay. All right,

16:43

all right. And I think while he's kind

16:45

of like walking up, when

16:48

he gets close enough to, he's gonna like run

16:50

his fingers on the new coat of paint and

16:52

just kind of admire is like, wow. You

16:54

almost, you almost don't know that

16:56

this is the famed and

17:01

highly sought after Corsair

17:03

ship. Wow, good

17:05

job everybody. I think like,

17:08

yeah, the people who are on the

17:10

painting duty, which again is the

17:12

collection of insane characters that we've

17:15

decided to add to the crew

17:17

recently. I think there's that very

17:19

hairy gentleman who is using some

17:21

of his body hair as a

17:24

paintbrush. There's

17:26

that big parakeet. Ethan

17:29

Hawke, the actual Hawke. Ethan Hawke, the

17:31

actual Hawke is there. Also painting

17:33

as well, studying for his role. Yeah,

17:36

there's just a big collection of people

17:38

that like wave. Like I think the

17:41

duty of painting the ship, this is

17:43

one of the least grueling duties. And

17:45

the thing about a pirate ship that's

17:48

great is there is a surplus of

17:50

people. You are maintaining a large

17:52

crew. So when there is a big job to

17:55

be done, there are a lot of people to

17:57

do it. You get

17:59

a bullet. the ship, you

18:01

can see it is a

18:03

pretty casual atmosphere. They've

18:06

been able to let their guard down here

18:08

in Sorrow's End more than

18:10

almost anywhere else because there isn't

18:12

a big call for the crew

18:14

to do anything right now and

18:16

you are not on the run

18:18

or hurting terribly for

18:21

supplies. Yeah, so I think

18:23

Johnnett is probably given dap

18:27

like where he can complimenting

18:30

and maybe like, he

18:32

like maybe notices a spot

18:36

that wasn't painted and

18:38

he looks over to like

18:40

a collection of orphans that

18:43

are clearly just kind of like covered in

18:45

paint and tuckered out and then he's just

18:47

like, all right, which one of y'all called

18:50

and quits early? Terribly sorry,

18:52

sir. That's me. All

18:54

right. Nigel. Nigel,

18:57

all right, give me that brush. Yeah,

19:00

sure, Johnnett, yeah, take it. All right,

19:02

next time, just finish it. And then

19:04

he does one or two brushes and

19:06

then, and he doesn't even look, when

19:08

working on the ship, it's really important

19:10

to finish what you start. Does one

19:12

kind of like casual brush and realizes

19:14

that like he missed it too. And

19:17

he's like, it's hard to reach, isn't it, Johnnett? Hey,

19:20

shut up, and then, shut up, Nigel. I got

19:22

it. He throws the brush back in. Get out of

19:24

here. Yeah, spit. I

19:27

think we've got a little bit

19:29

of debriefing to do. All right.

19:31

And maybe we can, is the

19:33

captain here? The

19:36

captain is out. How

19:38

important matters. The captain left with

19:41

you and Gable earlier this morning,

19:43

has not yet returned. We're talking

19:45

dire. We're talking, we're talking, we're

19:47

gonna burn this city to the

19:49

ground dire. Oh,

19:51

shit. This

19:54

is Bayless, he's new. Hi, Bayless Gill, soon

19:56

to be member of the crew. Spit like

19:58

takes your hand. really

20:00

looks you up and down. I

20:07

think like it is as

20:10

though he can see you naked

20:12

right now. Like that is just

20:15

how thoroughly he has read you

20:17

and your entire sexual history from

20:19

your handshake. Realize

20:22

that you are not a threat or

20:25

a target and like withdrawn. I

20:29

feel really exposed right now. Is

20:32

that kind of the spit? Yeah, you ain't got

20:34

nothing to worry about. All

20:36

right. Congratulations, bud. You passed the sniff

20:38

test. All right. Well,

20:41

we got some debriefing to do

20:43

if it's all right. I think we

20:45

might employ the captain's

20:47

quarters for a little bit of a

20:49

catch up. Do you

20:51

need the council? Barry's

20:54

here. Well, I mean, yeah, let's

20:56

get who we can and let's

20:58

chat. All

21:00

right. We'll cut to the

21:03

captain's quarters. Bayless

21:05

is pouring himself a drink. Yeah, there's

21:07

a meeting table. John is smacking his

21:10

hands and giving him the well. Yeah,

21:14

yeah, yeah. There's definitely like there

21:16

are nice bottles. It's like you

21:18

redirect to the normal ones and

21:22

like bathroom. Barry is

21:24

seated there. I think who, who

21:26

do you want to talk to?

21:29

Because like you are

21:31

potentially going to have to call for

21:33

a vote. It really depends on what

21:35

you're going to try to do. If

21:38

you're calling for a vote, like, you

21:40

know, notos and Wendell and spit, like

21:42

having your back will considerably sway your

21:44

chances. There's also potentially bringing Jane in.

21:48

It is laying out for the people

21:51

who have authority, the people who have years of

21:53

other crew members, what's going on.

21:55

Yeah, I think actually with that,

21:57

I think maybe we're not in.

22:01

the captain's quarters. Maybe we're just like

22:03

in the stables. Maybe

22:06

Jonat is like tying Flea up and

22:10

just kind of catching folks up as this is

22:12

happening. I was already thinking, Nodos

22:14

and Wendell, and Jane feels

22:16

good too. I think we

22:19

catch, we resume in the middle of

22:21

the conversation after he's kind of detailed

22:23

the things that have happened. Is it

22:25

okay to say that Bayless is like

22:27

given his, this is what it's like to

22:30

live here. Oh yeah, yeah,

22:32

yeah, yeah, yeah. Like character witness

22:34

for the town and

22:36

in a way be like, this

22:38

is what the deaths are, this

22:40

is what's happening, this is what

22:42

the Crimson is. Like gives the

22:44

whole lay down through Bayless. And

22:46

on top of that, we are

22:48

in the crosshairs. This whole town

22:50

is in the crosshairs of the

22:52

butcher. The butcher was

22:55

cast away by the

22:58

original, growth of fungus

23:00

that was intentionally put here. That

23:02

was protection. And over

23:05

time, the butcher has become stronger,

23:07

impatient. I'm not even sure what

23:09

the deal is with the luminary

23:11

sometimes, but it's making its way

23:13

back in. In order to get

23:16

the butcher out of here, which I think,

23:18

I think is, and he's kind of like

23:20

pleading to the group. I think that's kind

23:22

of our deal. We want to protect people.

23:25

In order to do that, we've got

23:27

to make a play for the new

23:30

fungus that the red feather is bringing

23:32

into this area and straight

23:35

up butchering. So, oh wow, I

23:37

didn't mean to make that pun. But

23:41

it was cool. But I did not mean, nobody

23:43

give me credit for that. No one

23:45

gives me credit for that. That was not intentional. I

23:47

give him a little credit for it. Don't do not.

23:49

This is Bayless, he's new. I am Bayless, I'm new.

23:52

I'm thinking that, I guess, I don't know

23:54

what the captain's up to. I'm waiting to

23:57

hear back. But if we

23:59

could. Well. I mean, I can speak

24:01

to that a little bit. The captain's

24:03

got his eye on something. It's far

24:06

off in the distance. I'm

24:09

sure he's talked to you a little

24:11

bit about it, getting into this masquerade

24:14

ball. Yeah. Oh shit, really?

24:17

Bill is like sitting over and then he's like, captain's

24:19

trying to get into the masquerade. Johnny, is that going

24:22

to be a problem for us? Him

24:25

in general or his realization or

24:27

him hearing these things. You

24:29

know what? And then

24:31

I think John is going to maybe

24:35

do a sidebar with spit and

24:37

is like, all right. So I think

24:39

either we remove him

24:42

from further conversation and fill him in

24:45

for what we want him to know

24:47

or what is there. Is

24:50

there any kind of contingency

24:52

for like an emergency impromptu

24:55

adding to the crew that we can

24:57

do? We'll have to talk

24:59

about all of this, all of it

25:01

with the captain. I think it depends

25:03

on what we do, but I will

25:05

play things closer to the chest from

25:07

here on out. The

25:10

captain has his eyes on something, something

25:12

in the future. The masquerade. I

25:28

think that's a sensitive operation and

25:30

I think

25:33

we're stepping lightly right now.

25:53

And Jane kind of leans forward and

25:55

pipes up and I really

25:58

empathize with. the plight of

26:01

this area. This seems

26:04

really bad. It is. It

26:06

is. I,

26:08

I definitely want to do

26:10

something. I am

26:13

concerned about the risk that

26:15

that generally exposes the crew

26:17

to right now. Our

26:20

big shield is that everyone thinks that

26:22

we're dead. Yeah. Wait, really? Yeah.

26:25

We've been off, we've been, we've been dark for

26:27

a year. Don't ask why. And

26:29

we also, and this

26:31

is just my personal observation

26:33

and feeling. It feels

26:35

like we get involved in a

26:37

lot of stuff everywhere we go.

26:40

And it gets very dangerous.

26:44

And I understand that that's, that

26:46

is part of the lifestyle. That is what

26:48

we signed up for as heroes. Yeah.

26:53

But we

26:55

got to apply the resources that we

26:57

have intelligently. I think

27:01

what you're talking about the red

27:03

feather set up this operation to

27:05

make a profit it's been making

27:07

them profit. If

27:10

we shut down any part of that, there's

27:13

no way you do that with closed hands. You

27:17

know, they're going to notice

27:19

the disruption and unlit. Unless

27:21

something really dramatic

27:23

happens, that's not going to

27:26

stick around unless something really

27:28

dramatic happens. They're just going

27:30

to set things up over again after we

27:32

leave. So, I mean, spit

27:34

said something about burning the whole

27:36

town down. Exactly. And we see

27:38

Bayless like sitting on like a

27:40

barrel going, we burn everything

27:43

to the ground, salt the land

27:45

that we're here and we leave. Do

27:47

you know what it's like? Do you,

27:49

it's like to like have no hope

27:52

whatsoever that anything

27:54

in the next 10, 20,

27:56

30 years are ever going to go in your favor?

27:59

Like. The fact that you are all here gives

28:02

me the level of hope that

28:04

I have not had since I was 10. And

28:08

that is part of the point. And

28:10

I think I'm going to, I have set up

28:13

four different, uh,

28:16

votes right now representing the different people

28:18

that you're talking to and how I

28:21

think they are going to sway the decision.

28:24

That is a point of how we operate.

28:28

Uh, this is the

28:30

type of place where the Uhuru

28:32

leaves a mark, whether the captain's

28:34

in charge of the ship or

28:36

not. That is historically what the

28:38

Uhuru has been. And

28:40

that's typically how we vote. I,

28:43

I think something ought to

28:45

be done, even if I don't know

28:47

what. Then the other question that we need to

28:49

consider is how to

28:51

think tactically about this

28:53

situation. Jane

28:56

is correct. Something

28:58

very dramatic would need to happen

29:00

for, for us to do something

29:02

here that has any meaningful

29:04

effect. We could pack

29:06

the ship to the gills with every

29:09

conscripted worker and just fly them

29:11

away. But in a few months

29:14

time, the red feathers would simply

29:16

ship more people down here. I

29:18

don't know how long that

29:20

would take, how much time it would buy, but

29:23

it seems like the, the people

29:25

that you met who inhabit this

29:27

area would just have to contend

29:30

with that threat so

29:32

long as there is still a route.

29:35

If we are removing the weed, we must take

29:37

it all the way down. Is

29:39

there anything to the,

29:41

the destruction of the

29:43

new Grusova plant? It

29:45

seems as though the red

29:47

feathers aren't necessarily like worried

29:50

about the old Grusova. That

29:53

is, they are cultivating the new

29:55

plant to harvest in their factory. If we

29:57

destroy the new plant, we must take it

29:59

all the way down. new Grosova, it

30:02

doesn't end it, but it

30:04

sets them back a good deal. It shuts

30:06

down the whole area. I

30:08

don't think you're wrong about that. I,

30:11

looking at their operations

30:13

and the way they typically move,

30:17

they reached capacity with production

30:20

based on the original Grosova

30:22

gardens, and they tried to

30:24

expand that. I think it is

30:26

within the ability of the Uhuru, Jonnet. If

30:29

you are able to stop

30:32

these plants, and we'll

30:35

lean on you a bit, I

30:37

do think it is within the

30:39

capability of the Uhuru to hit

30:41

those various garden locations and

30:44

allow you the space you need to

30:46

remove them, and perhaps

30:48

even do that subtly. Perhaps

30:51

do that without being noticed. However,

30:55

that means the factories

30:57

remain. That means the people

31:00

who are in power now remain.

31:02

And I don't know if

31:05

there is a way for the Uhuru alone

31:07

to do that without

31:10

tipping our hand. What if,

31:14

and this is a bad idea, and

31:16

I'm going to lead with a bad

31:18

idea, knowing it's a bad idea, but

31:20

using this as a jumping off point,

31:22

Jonnet is gesticulating wildly to the group.

31:25

It's a jumping off point for further

31:27

conversation from the larger team. What

31:30

if we go after the new

31:32

Grosova, we knock that stuff out, and

31:34

then we plant

31:38

the butcher's killing intent

31:40

cleaver in the upper

31:43

administration of the red feathers. Hear

31:45

me out. The old Grosova

31:48

protects and wards off the butcher. So

31:50

the hale could potentially be

31:53

in a safer spot. We

31:57

knock out the new Grosova, that

31:59

shuts down. on the factory, then

32:01

we knock out the admin types,

32:03

and hopefully that shuts down the

32:05

factory even more long-term. Maybe we

32:07

give an, maybe that gives an

32:09

opportunity or an opening for the

32:11

conscripted to take the

32:13

facility for themselves? Honestly,

32:17

hi, Bayless Skeletor, new.

32:20

I think if you were to empower

32:22

us as the debtors, we

32:25

could take this place. If there's enough of

32:27

us, I would say, that we could, I

32:30

mean, obviously the red feathers will come back

32:32

and probably kill us all afterwards.

32:35

I'll tell you, I'll tell

32:37

you this, Bayless, unquestionably, you

32:40

and the other debtors in this

32:42

place, if you were all to

32:44

unite in purpose and function, you

32:48

absolutely outnumber your captors.

32:51

You don't out-resource them or didn't

32:53

until we were part of this

32:55

equation. But you

32:58

outnumber them probably more

33:00

than 10 to one. And

33:03

how many people acting as

33:05

guards right now are debtors?

33:08

That gentleman that we brought onto the

33:10

ship was serving a guard role, but

33:12

he was also a debtor. Yeah, we

33:14

all are. There's nobody that works here

33:16

that isn't in debt. But

33:19

let me ask you this,

33:21

Bayless, you're reflected with this

33:24

crimson, yes? It

33:26

causes you a great deal of

33:28

pain if you experience something painful,

33:31

a great deal more than an

33:33

ordinary person, right? I've

33:35

been in a lot of fights over the years.

33:38

And even when you have the advantage

33:40

of numbers, morale is deeply,

33:42

deeply important. There are gonna be

33:44

moments where push comes to shove.

33:46

And I have to say, I

33:48

don't doubt your will, but I

33:51

think you're all sick. And

33:53

if we think about leveraging

33:55

that strength, that's something that

33:57

we have to take into

33:59

consideration. Let me say this. The

34:01

fact that all of you are here to begin

34:03

with, that you're even willing to help, is

34:06

a great instigator for

34:08

us. For me, like

34:10

just the other day, I would

34:13

never have even considered this. We're

34:15

not saying that we don't think you're going

34:17

to stand up. That is

34:20

not what Spit is trying to imply. It

34:22

is that we

34:24

could rally you to cause, rally

34:27

you to move, and then during

34:30

the ensuing chaos, the

34:32

toll was set in. If

34:35

enough people break, if

34:38

enough people are injured, it could

34:40

turn into a situation where many

34:42

more of you die than would

34:44

need be. Let me just

34:46

leave. What if we just had everybody

34:48

who was in debt leave? Well,

34:51

that creates a problem for everybody else

34:53

to support the ship. I

34:55

don't want to be the

34:58

voice of bad news or

35:00

whatever, but if

35:02

we take a bunch of refugees

35:04

onto the ship, there

35:07

is absolutely no way

35:10

we can ensure that none of them are

35:12

going to talk. No, I mean, what if

35:14

we just leave the town and go into

35:16

the grasslands for a while? What if we

35:19

just put down all of

35:21

our working implements and walk out

35:23

of town? I

35:28

feel like I need to remind you that earlier

35:30

today you had a completely different

35:32

viewpoint of what

35:35

the grasslands entailed and

35:38

who was in them and

35:40

if they were good

35:42

people or not. I'm

35:44

not saying that that's not a bad idea. I'm not

35:47

saying that that's a bad idea. I'm just saying that-

35:49

It's not an easy one. Yeah. No, no, no. You're

35:51

right. You're right. You're right. I think we

35:54

need to consider all the resources that we

35:56

have here when you're cleaning a bathroom. If

36:00

you only look at your brush

36:02

or your spray bottle, you're either

36:04

just gonna move shit around or

36:06

you're cleaning shit with your hands.

36:09

I'm sorry, who is this? This is Barry. Is

36:11

this Janet? He's

36:14

the wisest fan on the ship. Is

36:17

it Janet? But he's also, he

36:19

is also a janitorial

36:22

role. I've done janitorial stuff.

36:24

Yeah, no, I understand. Okay, we can

36:26

get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Janet,

36:29

are there any resources we're not thinking about?

36:32

No. I, I

36:35

mean, for Showa, I've

36:40

recently been put into

36:42

contact with another seer, or the

36:44

remnants of another seer, and he

36:46

reaches into his bag, pulls out

36:48

the box, does a

36:50

quick check to make sure that the box is in

36:52

good looking condition, and he's like, all right, I did

36:54

a good job. All right, and he opens it up,

36:57

shows it, and this, this

37:00

is, this is the remnants of a seer

37:03

that was a part

37:06

of the Halle community. And

37:10

through it, I've been able to

37:12

see the locations of the new

37:14

Grisova that we

37:17

can use for our advantage. That

37:19

might give us an edge. We also have,

37:22

we also have the schedules

37:24

and the shifts that the

37:27

factory operates on. It's

37:31

not a full picture

37:33

yet, but we have, we have information

37:36

on where the red feathers will be at

37:38

any point in time during the day,

37:41

and also where we need to hit.

37:43

I am fairly confident, again, I will

37:45

reiterate, we can perform that operation,

37:47

and we can, if

37:49

things go well, we could perform it in a

37:51

way that nobody

37:54

would know that it happened until

37:56

it's already over and done with. That

37:59

I am not. concerned about. It is

38:01

the aftermath of that.

38:03

It is what this place is

38:06

after we return to the sky. And

38:08

if it is still functioning, then

38:10

we have lessened some

38:13

harm for a few people, but all

38:16

that is happening now will

38:18

continue to happen. I

38:20

think the Uhuru most

38:23

certainly within its capability, either

38:26

with the weapons that it

38:28

has, the able-bodied fighters that

38:30

it has, I

38:32

think it would be a simple matter for

38:35

us to overthrow the town. But

38:37

there is no way for us to do

38:39

that without declaring

38:42

to the world that the

38:44

Uhuru has returned. Why is

38:46

that bad? Because

38:48

people are trying to kill us. And?

38:51

We don't want that.

38:54

Well, yeah, but people were trying to kill you

38:56

all the time. Well, have you

38:59

ever been hunted and then looked

39:01

up and you weren't being hunted? I

39:03

was offered that role one time. Somebody,

39:06

one of the red-faced people. I'm

39:08

willing to hunt you for sports, my boy!

39:11

How much were you willing to take off my debt to do that? I

39:14

was offered that. I didn't go with

39:16

it, but Matilda did. Poor

39:19

Matilda. And you

39:22

put yourself in a dangerous situation.

39:24

The people close to you pay

39:26

a price. Yeah, we

39:28

know. But there's also the

39:30

wrinkle. We have an element

39:33

of surprise

39:35

in people thinking that we are gone

39:37

right now. It's an important tactical advantage.

39:41

For what? That

39:43

is not for you to

39:45

know, frankly. Okay. But

39:47

I, John goes to Jane, and he's like, thank you.

39:49

I was going to say that. That is unclear to

39:52

us right now. But I

39:54

think it is important because you

39:56

are basically talking about all

39:58

of our lives. our

40:00

livelihood, you're basically, I have

40:03

come, we have come to you, I have come

40:05

to you and asked for this, this one

40:08

chance for us to get out from

40:10

underneath the boot of these people. If

40:12

you are not willing to go

40:14

all the way to do that, then

40:16

I kind of want to

40:19

know why. Bayless, you're not the only

40:21

town. This isn't the only place that

40:23

suffers because of the Red Feather Syndicate.

40:26

I understand that there is a

40:28

series of horrors that are paraded

40:30

in front of you every day,

40:33

but that is true for the rest of the

40:35

rediscovered world as well. We

40:37

are one ship and

40:39

one crew. We have

40:42

the ability to do things to

40:44

make a difference in people's lives,

40:46

but every time we do, everyone

40:49

on the ship gets a say as

40:51

to whether or not they're on board.

40:53

When I am going to ask my

40:56

friends, my comrades, the people who will be

40:58

fighting at my side that I would kill

41:00

and die for to do

41:02

something, I need to make sure

41:05

that is a good decision for

41:07

everybody involved. Captain Oramar Vale has

41:09

accomplished a lot in his life

41:11

and that is because he is

41:13

a careful thinker and planner. And

41:15

one thing that he has made

41:17

abundantly clear to us is that

41:19

he has a plan and part

41:21

of that plan calls for subtlety.

41:23

So out of respect for that,

41:26

I think I want to investigate

41:29

whether or not this is a good

41:31

move or if there is a way

41:33

to make it in a way

41:35

that makes sense for the ship. So

41:38

what I'm hearing is you

41:41

can bring hope. You

41:43

just can't finish. I

41:45

am being extraordinarily patient

41:47

right now. As

41:49

am I, for most 10 years

41:51

of my life, I've been incredibly patient.

41:54

All of us have waiting for something

41:56

and you are the something. If you're

41:58

not the something, Just say so.

42:02

If we do this for Sorrow's

42:04

End, there is a good chance

42:06

that it will not

42:08

allow us to do it at

42:11

a bigger scale. We could help

42:13

Sorrow's End or we could help

42:15

everybody. And we don't necessarily know

42:17

that that's the crossroads that we

42:19

stand on right now. Part

42:21

of this discussion and the reason

42:24

that we are having it before

42:26

immediately putting your issue to vote

42:29

aboard the ship is we need to

42:31

know that there is a way that allows us to

42:33

help you in a way that really

42:35

matters. Because frankly, we

42:38

could just take you away on the

42:40

ship. Take you away from this place.

42:42

And everybody else here would continue toiling

42:44

away in their miserable lives. But it

42:47

would be so safe and so easy

42:49

for us to simply take you. We

42:51

could solve a small problem, but that

42:54

leaves a larger one behind. I wouldn't

42:56

want that. It's matters of

42:58

scale. I'm... no one is saying

43:00

no. But the yes needs

43:02

to be thoughtful and

43:05

careful. I've been on this ship a

43:07

long time. I know how we do

43:09

things. Johnnett, you're a leader aboard this

43:11

ship. You know how we do things.

43:14

Is there a way for us to leverage more?

43:17

That's less of a risk. And

43:22

what I'm getting at, part of the

43:24

Bandit Queen, you are owed

43:26

100 favors by the Tempest

43:29

Armada. Where

43:31

we're at, you and

43:34

Bathroom Barry are two captain's

43:36

council members. I think you

43:38

can call a quorum

43:41

to call for a vote on the

43:43

ship for the Ahuru's next action. I

43:46

think you have the authority

43:48

to use one of the favors of the

43:50

heart of the Bandit Queen. There are a

43:52

hundred. I think you've used one. So you're

43:54

down to 99. Down

43:57

to 99. Like, I think you

44:00

could... could decide unilaterally to do that.

44:02

And what that would do is you

44:04

would call in another

44:06

pirate ship to

44:09

get involved in this operation. It

44:12

does introduce other

44:15

uncertain elements, but

44:17

the story flying away from here

44:19

can be that it was

44:21

another ship. Yeah. Heck,

44:23

use 10. Bring 10 ships. I have to

44:25

say, we have 99 papers. Yes.

44:30

And the other thing, the other thing

44:32

also is you, I think

44:35

very clearly with this strategy meeting, you

44:37

have made it clear you have the capability

44:39

of shutting down the new Grosova and doing

44:41

it in a way that nobody

44:44

finds out about it. I will

44:46

also point out, Tyler,

44:48

you came up with a pretty

44:50

unique solution for dealing with the

44:52

butcher. Yeah, you're right.

44:55

You could probably just bury the cleaver

44:57

in one of the Grosova plants and

44:59

it would eat away at that butcher

45:02

killing intent. And that would probably

45:04

more effectively seal it away than

45:06

anything else that folks

45:08

could come up with. Scotty Jax.

45:25

I think some time passes a little bit. Maybe

45:45

the camera speeds up. And

45:49

as Johnnett, like when Tyler said to

45:51

Johnnett, you're important, I feel

45:53

like there was a tingling around your eye.

45:55

There is something like even through

45:57

your sickness and the deepest core part of the

45:59

of yourself, like, you know

46:02

that's true in more

46:04

ways than even this person knows

46:06

and is trying to express. Like,

46:09

the camera speeds up, and then

46:11

we cut to the middle of it. And I think

46:13

Silas is playing things really cool.

46:16

But Johnnett, who is sick

46:18

and slow and sweating all

46:20

over, is now scraping

46:22

barnacles in the way that Silas

46:25

Denison is scraping barnacles, and shearing

46:28

off whole rows at once, moving

46:31

much quicker. Denison, this

46:33

is a technique that took you years

46:35

to hone. And

46:37

here's this kid half

46:39

alive on his feet, pulling

46:42

it off in the same way. And

46:44

you're, at the same time, I think,

46:47

sorting through all of Coriander's various stories

46:49

about seers. And you have

46:51

to separate, I know when Coriander tells stories.

46:54

I know Coriander's lived an incredible life,

46:56

but I know when Coriander tells stories,

46:58

I don't know what's real and what's

47:00

not anymore. Yeah. And I think there's

47:02

a lot of what's

47:04

happening here is that Denison is

47:06

teaching Johnnett, obviously. But it's also

47:09

like watching this young seer to

47:11

see like what's going

47:13

on here. I think this whole

47:15

sequence is Denison being like,

47:17

I've heard stories, and I know

47:20

some are true, some are

47:22

fake. Like, what's happening here with

47:24

this? But it's definitely a, I

47:27

want to watch and see what's

47:30

the deal here, because Denison

47:33

knows runaways. Denison was a

47:35

runaway. Like, Denison has lived

47:37

his whole life in

47:39

this world of like kids

47:42

who grow up, and then they want

47:44

to leave, and they jump ship, but

47:46

they go to a place. And that

47:48

is so common a story that Denison

47:50

is aware of. But like, this is

47:52

different. Yeah, I think it takes

47:54

you all that time you're watching. I

47:56

think notably, you teach Johnnett a technique.

47:58

to scrape at barnacles in a way

48:00

that would preserve his energy and not

48:02

waste so much of his effort. You

48:04

don't teach him the shearing technique because

48:06

it's like you can mess that up

48:08

and waste a lot more energy that

48:10

way. He just figured that out on

48:12

his own. And you don't know if

48:14

he figured it out from watching you

48:16

or what sends your mind

48:18

racing. And I think the two of you

48:20

get to talking a little bit. John, it

48:22

is obviously cagey, but through

48:26

what, through your conversation,

48:28

I think the thing that

48:30

Denison realizes fundamentally is

48:32

that what you're dealing with is not a

48:34

runaway. John is running

48:36

towards something. Something, yeah. And

48:38

I think, because I think a lot of that conversation is

48:40

Denison just because John is cagey.

48:43

He tells stories about himself. It's

48:45

just like letting John

48:47

know things about the world in

48:49

general, like the red feathers and

48:52

why water is cursed. And, you

48:54

know, because he's like, he knows you're from Acheron, which

48:56

is landlocked. So he gives

48:59

you almost like a

49:01

introductory. Crash course? It's crash

49:03

course, but like when you go to a

49:05

job and it's the on board is an

49:07

orientation. He gives you like an orientation to

49:10

the world. In like

49:12

this tutorial level where he talks about all this. But

49:15

as Denison watches you, as Silas watches

49:17

you, pick up

49:19

things like Denison does like the

49:21

minutest little like flick at the end for a

49:23

big one. And, and

49:25

John, it then learns to do that and

49:27

when to do it and when not to

49:30

do it, you're picking it up faster than

49:32

even he did as a child. And

49:35

so it's, it's like, yeah, there is something

49:37

going on here. And as

49:39

John it like says one or

49:41

two things, Denison realizes,

49:44

yeah, you are running. You're there

49:46

is, you're important because everyone's important, but

49:49

you're also important because you're important. And

49:52

here's the question, Tyler. I think the

49:54

thing that sets it off really is

49:56

how does John it let it

49:58

be known that he's gonna. to be

50:00

a captain or wants to be a captain, wants to

50:02

be a skyjack. What does he say? It feels like

50:04

you're working on the ships, you're making your conversation. What

50:06

do you say? I think throughout

50:09

the learning process for John, it is

50:11

like the tactile methodology of like scraping

50:13

off the barnacles. I feel like he

50:15

picks it up very quickly. I also

50:18

feel like throughout this process, John is

50:20

taking a lot of breaks because he

50:23

is like encumbered with sickness.

50:26

And so he'll get a move and

50:29

then have to stop for like

50:31

a couple minutes. And if left to

50:33

his own devices, this would have dragged

50:35

out for days longer.

50:38

And so he's just every time he has

50:40

to take a breather, he's more just

50:43

endeared towards Silas because he is just

50:45

continuing to like to plow

50:47

through it. And he's also when he's

50:49

not taking in like Silas, like Silas

50:52

do like the

50:54

kind person who stepped out of the

50:57

ether. He's taking in his technique like

50:59

he's watching his hands. And

51:01

I think there's a moment where

51:03

he's taking a break and like

51:06

he's getting he's going to get

51:08

back into the swing, take another shift at it.

51:10

He grabs this tool, the scraping

51:13

tool and kind of does without

51:15

even really thinking about it. He

51:18

does the exact flip

51:20

that you did at the beginning of

51:22

all of this as he

51:24

like readies it and goes in and then

51:27

as he's like just kind of like sticking

51:29

it into a barnacle, he's like, man, on

51:31

my ship, when I'm captain, like my

51:34

ship is not going to touch the water.

51:36

It's just going to be in the air.

51:38

All right. I'm not I'm not dealing with

51:40

this. I'm not going to make anybody who's

51:42

on my ship scrape this stuff off because

51:44

this stuff is for the birds, man. You

51:48

have your own ship now, do you? I

51:50

mean, like not in the not

51:53

in the the the the now

51:55

sense, it's an aspirational ship. You

51:58

know, you you ever you ever have. that.

52:00

Well, of course. Sometimes the

52:03

aspirationals are more real than we have.

52:05

Well, I mean, I, the

52:08

ship in my head is pretty

52:10

cool. It's, it's cool. Cool.

52:12

And he goes, but remember,

52:16

that's, that's still real.

52:18

I mean, yeah, it's

52:23

I, I, I think I

52:25

like I like I like planning out

52:27

what it's gonna look like. And it's

52:29

really easy to plan it out. It's kind

52:31

of like it's pretty clear. What's it look

52:34

like? Huge. It's,

52:37

it's got it's got

52:39

like, it's got so many decks, there's so

52:41

much stuff that you can fit inside of

52:43

it. For next five to six decks five

52:45

decks, at least. What's

52:47

a weirdly specific detail about the ship

52:50

that you saw in your vision that

52:52

you've just memorized? There

52:55

is a, it's essentially

52:57

like a key as it's

53:01

like, you walk in a room and like

53:03

there's like a place for your keys when

53:06

you come in and you

53:08

always drop them there. In John,

53:10

it's mind, there's a spot for like

53:12

a knife of his it's just like

53:14

on a post in the captain's quarters.

53:17

So like, when he is captain, he will,

53:20

it'll basically be assigned to the rest of

53:22

the crew where it's like the captain is

53:24

in his office office hours are open. If

53:26

there's a knife stuck to like the doorframe,

53:31

that is his symbol to the crew. And I

53:34

think because of that, like, John it

53:36

describes this doorframe that is very pristine

53:38

and also the right side of it

53:41

is littered with knife

53:45

stabs because that's

53:47

his mark and is like I want to

53:49

I want to let people know that I'm

53:51

around but also don't mess with me. Like

53:54

the liquid swords. Who?

53:56

Oh, liquid swords, they do that. They

53:59

posts they They put their blades

54:01

in it to let who's here and who's

54:03

not. This is my thing. This is my

54:05

thing. Different than that. Yeah, yeah completely

54:08

understandable. Yeah But what who

54:10

who are the liquid swords? Oh liquid

54:12

swords and we see Denison like talk

54:15

a little bit about the Tutorial

54:17

level. I see you've talked about the liquid

54:19

swords Yeah, and he kind of gives you

54:21

a bit about who they are and what

54:23

they do and and They're

54:26

warriors But

54:29

also poets poets there

54:31

are also artists that

54:33

are also Metaphysicians

54:36

they understand the things between

54:39

things And where it

54:41

all comes from where it all goes My

54:44

water racing downhill It's

54:48

very cool I

54:54

feel like there's like there's maybe like a small You

54:58

Moment in this like montage where it's just like

55:00

there's a whole beat of time where they're working

55:02

on this On this ship

55:04

and the only thing that they're really exchanging

55:07

is the word cool But and different inflections

55:09

and it's just like it's just a little

55:11

bit of like we've run out of things

55:13

to say But also we appreciate that you're

55:15

still here. And I think What

55:18

it is as we zoom out we can see that All

55:21

of the boats in the warehouse are

55:24

finished off to the side we

55:26

can see like throughout this Conversation

55:28

however long it took Bobby Jean had essentially

55:30

gone up to one of the refugees like pulled

55:32

on his coat and been like You got

55:34

to help me with these names, man. I'm

55:36

gonna give you a bar I'm gonna give you

55:38

a granola bar never had a granola bar

55:40

before let me tell you what this is

55:43

a great granola bar I need

55:45

you to read this because I do not

55:47

know this language. I promise I am literate

55:51

And like slowly more and more of the refugees

55:53

that were working on boats had like kind of

55:55

head over because like oh I know this person.

55:57

I know this person and Bobby Jean is like

55:59

sorting through like okay, well, you got to take

56:01

this to these people. You got to take this

56:03

to those people. And so that problem has addressed

56:05

itself where Denison

56:08

and Johnette unknowingly have stepped

56:10

in is to finish out

56:13

all of everybody's work because they're

56:15

moving so quick. Some of the taps that Johnette

56:17

is doing completely unknowingly, because he is in the

56:19

middle of this conversation, is like, there's

56:21

a tap. And I think

56:24

there is a legendary technique, I

56:26

think, that was talked to you

56:28

about their sea

56:30

barnacles. These are Leviathan

56:32

barnacles. They are cursed, but they are

56:34

alive. And if you hit them in

56:36

the right place, they will let go

56:39

of a ship. And Johnette kind of

56:41

does it. And he's exhausted

56:43

and whatnot and not even noticing because

56:45

he's so invested in the conversation. It

56:48

falls off. So you

56:50

are just moving through the

56:52

warehouse and finish it

56:54

out. At the end, Johnette, you

56:56

are bone tired and exhausted. You

56:58

have no idea how much work
